Black Rose Theatre will be taking the One Act Graceland to the Mississippi Theatre Association competition later this month. To get ready for this we will be presenting the play for free at Black Rose Theatre on Saturday January 9 2010 at 7:30 pm.
Reservations will not be taken for this performance. It will be strictly first come first serve. Please come out and support Black Rose and the talented cast of Graceland.
Synopsis: The place is the front entrance of Graceland, the late Elvis Presley’s Memphis mansion, the time, five o’clock in the morning, three days before the estate is to be opened to the public. Two ardent Presley fans, Bev and Rootie, are camped out before the gates, each determined to be the first to enter the sacred precincts. Bev is a bewigged, middle-aged lady with too much make-up and a brassy down-home style; Rootie is young and shy and somewhat intimidated by the raucous Bev. Wary at first, the two soon progress from dispute to shared confidences and a growing compassion that, in the end, moves the essentially warm-hearted Bev to defer the place of honor to her waif-like and touchingly sincere rival.
Bev: Karen Blake
Rootie: Jenny Cochran
Directed by: Traci Echo Mohler
Stage Manager: Dani Baisden.
